El viaje de Benedetto XVI a Francia inspirado en San Agustín

In brief

Pope Leo XIV will visit France in less than two weeks. The upcoming trip marks 18 years since Pope Benedict XVI began a pilgrimage in Paris on September 12 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the apparitions at Lourdes.

Vatican News reports that Benedict XVI, a professional theologian, used his visit to honor French cultural values through the teachings of Saint Augustine, the author of The City of God. The current Pope shares this interest in the works of Saint Augustine.
